Renault Vel Satis. Yeah?
Discussion
Anybody have any experience of these? I kind of like the ugly beast that it is, its willfully ugly infact. They appear cheap second hand and well spec'd but you hardly see any knocking about as I suppose they sold badly in the first place.
Yeah? No? No.
Thought so.
I am curious though....

I also kind of like them and fancied a diesel one as my daily hack (120 mile round commute) given how cheap they are if you find them for such a comfy place to be ... I was warned off by a Renault dealer ....

No they are utterly terrible and will explode if you sit in one.

Don't worry Farrendahl, I'm not in the market for one I was mainly just curious. I was doing my usual bored Autotrader surf and came upon one. I hadn't seen your thread earlier this week, weird to have two Vel Satis threads in one week!

Have you managed to hunt one down?

The other thread was much more comprehensive, but my feelings haven't changed. They are known for woeful reliability, but I've never driven one or owned one so I couldn't really comment on that. But the styling is dire. It looks like an oversized blue rinse brigade car, and the interior is nothing special either.
